22 millim. ; the legs of tlie second pair are about twice as long 

 as the cephalothorax, measuring 58 millim. 



Mr. Miers presumes that this species is identical with Naxioides 

 Mrta, A. Milne-Edw., from Zanzibar ; I think he is right. 



As Naxia {Naxioides) Fetersii has been observed on the 

 coast of Mozambique and at the Amirante Islands, it would 

 appear to occur throughout the wliole northern Indian Ocean.

Three specimens are in the Collection, viz. one adult female 

 provided with eggs, found at King Island Bay, and a smaller 

 sterile female and a very young male from Elphinstone Island, 



The cephalothorax of the adult specimen is 54 millim. long 

 (the rostrum included) and 4 L millim. broad (without the lateral 

 spines)* It belongs to that common variety in which the rostrum 

 consists of two long and straight spines that are each provided 

 with a short, extefual, obliquely directed accessory spine at the 

 base. The upper surface of the carapace is granular, nowhere 

 gpillose. 



SchizopJirys aspera has been recorded from Zanzibar {Milne- 

 Edivards), Madagascar (Milne- JEdwards) , Mauritius {White), 

 the coast of Malabar (Milne-JEdwards), Borneo (Dana), Torres 

 Strait (Haswell), New Caledonia (Milne-Edwards), Navi- 

 gator Islands (Milne-Edwards), and Japan (de Haan and 

 Siimpson) . 



This species may thus be said to occur throughout the whole 

 Indo-Pacific region.
